[k0ewu9 at juno.com]

Well, this is of interest to all.
I have here a small booklet  FM-13  30 June 1943, this reference replaced
FM-11 which replaced??
The manual covers "Q" signals from QAA (what time do you expect to arrive
at_______?)
to QZZ  (your operating signal , at ----  recieved or not?)
Interesting little book, 96 pages in all. (BASIC FIELD MANUAL)   21 Feb 
1944,  [4.5"x6" Wire spiral bound.]
War Department.
It is for sale or trade.
